CTA of coronary arteries performed with dual source CT in spiral mode provides good image quality even in patients with higher calcification scores. The reduction of heart rates > 75 bpm improves the image quality significantly in patients with higher calcification scores.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
